1. Take off pan
2. Bang out dent
3. Squeeze out gasket maker
4. Install pan
5. Crank engine

It takes a bit to get the pressure up on a motor that's been sitting for a while. Generally, SR oil pumps are sturdy...it's the fact that the pickup is SO CLOSE to the pan, that they can't suck oil and that causes starvation.

Search more about this. You'll find LOTS of info on the topic.
